There is excitement in the Clerk’s office, awaiting our new election equipment. Following extensive study and testing, Oakland County chose the equipment offered by Hart Intercivic, Verity Scan, Digital Ballot Scanner; one of three options provided by the State of Michigan. The equipment will be delivered in December, 2017, and will be tested locally at that time. Clerks of Oakland County will all receive further training in the next couple of months, after which we will hold trainings for our election workers.

The new equipment will be used in the next elections held in the Charter Township of Royal Oak in 2018, and we hope that all of our voters will be as excited about the new equipment as we are. The Clerk’s Office is investigating the ability to allow a preview of the equipment by using our local Comcast Cable Government Channel 15.
